WARNINGS:For external use only. Do not use on irritated or damaged skin. Avoid getting the micro-dermabrasion exfoliator in the eyes, lips and nostrils. If eye contact occurs, flush thoroughly and gently. If irritation or rash appears, discontinue use and consult a physician. For adult use only. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician before using if you are on any type of skin medication or if you have a pre-existing skin condition such as seborrheic dermatitis, chronic eczema, psoriasis, severe acne, skin cancer, a facial tattoo or sunburned skin. Do not use within 24 hours of use of other exfoliation products; for example, but not limited to: glycolic acid, chemical peels, acne medication or Retin-A. If you experience any undue sensitivity, discontinue use, allowing skin to rest for several days. Because this product may make your skin more sensitive to the sun, always protect your skin following a micro-dermabrasion treatment with a UVA/UVB sunscreen of SPF 15 or greater. Excessive sun exposure after micro-dermabrasion should be avoided. If intense sun exposure is unavoidable, apply sunscreen liberally and frequently. Do not use more frequently than three times per week.

I fell in love with this product about a year ago. A friend had this, so I decided to give it a try. To my surprise it worked wonders! it really does leave your skin feeling soft and help to get rid of any impurities. My problem was a lot of under the skin zits and big pores, over time this seriously helped so much! I can't imagine life with out it, now I use it much less.

Best exfoliator I've used. My skin has always been very dry. This is an exceptional product and a great introduction to Kiehls. My sister also loves it and her skin is more normal/oily. The size is nice and last for a long time.

How does the epidermal micro-dermabrasion compare with the clearly corrective skin brightening exfoliator? I've been using the micro-dermabrasion and like it but was wondering if the clearly corrective would be as good, and how it differs.

Should this product be used as a face wash replacement during that 2-3 times a week regime?

A shopper on Jun 26, 2013

Best Answer:I don't think so, no. You can't use it on your eyes and you have to be very careful not to scrub too hard and irritate your skin. I make sure my face is clean and then lightly exfoliate with this.

This is a great product! I am older, but use it once or twice a week to brighten my skin and give it a lift. It's gentle because it has a creamy base. It all depends on your skin type, but I'm sure you'll like it and be able to determine the correct frequency for your own skin.

Best Answer:I've used this product for a number of years now and like it quite a bit. I suffered from acne when I was young and have enlarged pores and some scarring. This product is great for exfoliating and makes my skin feel smooth, but has not reduced the appearance of scarring or significantly reduced my pores. I still recommend though!

I have used this product and can say it has significently improved the look and feel of my skin.Just go gently to start with.You can incorporate this in with your exsisting skincare routine.Hope this helps!

I have large pores that love getting clogged with dirt and some light-to-medium scarring on my cheeks. I use this 3-4 times a week, and after 3 weeks I've noticed significantly less clogged pores all over my face, over 2/3rds gone. Pore size never changes, but they certainly look more refined when they're CLEAN!!!The scarring on my cheeks IS less visible, especially where it was already light to begin with. I use this in conjunction with the Biological Peel, so I'm not sure which one is working its magic. It's not a miracle eraser by any means, especially for mid-to-deep scarring, so don't expect miracles. However, the area is somehow exquisitely smooth to the touch even though it doesn't appear to be so- and that is definitely as a result of using this exfoliant.

It isn't a cream, it's an abrasive scrub. You cleanse, then use the scrub, rinse and tone and moisturize. I don't feel qualified to answer your question about scars. I do like the product very much; very fine-grain particles in a cream-like base.

This is one of the best micro dermabrasion creams that I have used So much so that I have bought a second tube since running out of the first one, even though it's a bit pricier than I would like. I simply cannot live without it because even after 1 use, my skin feels smoother and wonderful. Because I have issues with acne and use a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream everyday, I do have some issues with dry flaky skin at times and this cream really helps me exfoliate. In terms of acne scars, I think it has helped me, especially when used in combination with a glycolic acid product (for example, I'll use a GA mask and after I rinse off, I'll follow with the micro dermabrasion product). I find that using it 2-3 times a week works for me, but sometimes I use it a few days in a row if my skin is especially problematic.

Noticing that it says, only to use The Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion once or twice a week, could I still use my Blue herbal Gel cleanser daily, morning and night? Or would that be too much?

I've read many of the reviews and noticed most all mention they have dry skin. My skin in combination. Will it work for me?

A shopper on Oct 2, 2012

Best Answer:i too have combination skin and this product by far is the best one i have discovered. i have been using it for years now and i dont leave town without it. I use it two or three times a week followed by a moisturizer. i love it.

Its ok to use it this product?bcoz im using right now the DSC and Midnite Recovery

A shopper on Apr 12, 2012

Best Answer:I find that all of my other products work MUCH better after I use this. I use it 4 times a week even though the recommendation is 3 because I work in a really hot, gritty, dirty environment- and it works great on removing the layer of filth that forms over my (very oily) skin to allow other products to do their work much better.On the other hand, my mother (50+) can't use this in conjunction with other products because it causes other products to irritate her skin. She has normal-to-oily, very sensitive skin.

Hi, I'm not sure about the ingredients of those products but if they have Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids in them then you probably don't want to use the products together. But if they don't have AHAs then it should be okay to use the microdermabrasion with those products.

Hello, I don't use the midnite recovery but I do use a strong retinol at night. I use the microdermabrasion 3 times a week and love it. My skin does not get irritated from using both. Go light but the scrub is lovely.

Best Answer:The abrasion is very slight but I would give it a try if I were you. It makes a big difference in smoothing the skin on my face and leaves it feeling great. Also removes any oily feeling without drying. I am 66 and have used it regularly for about 3-4 years.

I didn't have a problem relating to acne but I did have a lot of uneven color and texture which has improved since I began using the product. Based on the smoothness of my skin now versus when I started using the product I'd say its defiantly worth a try.

First let me say this: I tell people this is the best facial product I have ever used. And no one is paying me to say this! The way my skin feels afterwards is very smooth and soft.
To answer your question I would assume it would decrease scar spots as exfoliation is needed to speed up new skin growth.
I am fifty years old and have had acne my whole life until recently when I finally realized I've been overdrying my face with the wrong type of products. Once I started using more moisturizing skin cleansers and moisturizers and exfoliating my acne is finally gone.

I do have another question, if you dont mind. I have struggled with acne myself for quite sometime, and I belive that I do have been overdrying my face. I tend to be oily in my Tzone and dry around my cheeks. What kind of moisterizers and skin cleansers would you recommend?

Well I use a cream based cleanser for sensitive skin and a moisturizer for dry and sensitive skin. My skin was producing extra oil because I kept stripping my natural oils. Also, more acne is caused by clogged pores not from oil but from dead dry skin cells! So exfoliate and moisturize!

Best Answer:I never have used a mask with this, but I do use this product 3 times a week, together with Kiehl's daily Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser. Makes my skin soft and pores smaller. On other days I use the Deep Pore Cleanser alone. On those days, I leave the cleanser to dry on my face for 5-15 minutes, depending on how much time I have. Great Products..

Best Answer:Depending on your skin type. If you have dry skin, make sure you use Over-Night 1-3 times a week, and Epidermal once or twice a week. Try not to use it back to back though. If you have normal to oily you can use Over-night 1-33 times a week and Epidermal 1-3 times a week.

I'm the wrong person to ask, I'll just let you know that, I love Epidermal Re-texturizing micro-dermabrasion. After applying it in my face, my face look fresh and feel smooth. Then I apply a gentle moisturizer. I'll been using this product for 3-4 years now.

Best Answer:Hey Billie D
Yes! Just not under the eyes. I've been using this product for awhile. Started with Kiehl's in my late 20's. I'm in my 40's now and am mistaken for mid 30's all the time. Use it with Eye Alert in the morning and Midnight Recovery Eye at night. Seems like a lot but those little bottles last me for months!

Any kind of micro-dermabrasion product will be too harsh for the skin directly under your eyes. This is a very effective microdermabrasion product; the particles are especially fine and therefore very good at re-texturizing skin. You might consider purchasing an eye cream especially formulated with some retinol. This will encourage natural exfoliation and will improve the fine lines with continued use. I am 58 and have almost no fine lines under my eyes which I attribute to a long-term use of retinol based products. Also, don't forget to always use sunscreen - even for this area. Hope this helps!

"Do not use within 24 hours of use of other exfoliation products; for example, but not limited to: glycolic acid, chemical peels, acne medication or Retin-A." - Kiehl's indications. I really don't understand. Can you help me?

A shopper on May 29, 2013

Best Answer:Exfoliators in general are abrasive to your skin. Chemical peels etc. are kind of harsh and could leave your skin feeling dry temporarily. For this reason you should never use a Micro-Dermabrasion product right after any treatment that can dry your skin. The Epidermal Re-Texturizing product is a good one, very creamy, but you need to only use it on well hydrated skin.

Sorry, can't tell you. I don't use any other exfoliation than the Kiehl's -- use it twice a week. I do use a glycolic acid toner after cleansing and before moisturizing. I LOVE this product -- I have dry sensitive skin and it does the job.

Do you think it is ok to use this product with a battery operated cleansing brush?

A shopper on Jan 5, 2013

Best Answer:I think that wd depend on the person's skin type.I have very sensitive skin, so would not be using a battery operating cleanser in any event. Just gently rubbing the dermabrasion cream on wet face leaves my skin pink and i then use the calendula recovery cream after that. I will say this is a great product, best exfoliation scrub i have ever used. A little goes a long way. One tube used once a week lasts 9 months or longer.

Best Answer:I've found that it improves acne-prone skin. It doesn't clog one's pores; it removes much of the dead skin and actually helps unclog pores. Be careful with it though, I think it should only be used once to twice per week. I also make sure to wear a sun block every day since those dead skin cells seem to act like a natural sun block and removing them makes your skin sun-sensitive.

Best Answer:Not sure it will help cure dry skin, but it will definetely help clear the dry/dead skin on the surface of your face away. Afterward you can moisturize your skin and hopefully that will help with the dryness.

Best Answer:I have been using this product for a month or so now and I would say yes it will get rid of the whiteheads. Be careful about the amount of pressure you apply at first to the area along with how many times a week you use it. I started off twice a week and am now up to the recommended 3 times a week.I had whiteheads on my chin and around my nose and they are gone but it took a couple of weeks for them to clear up and go away completely. I've also been using the Powerful strength Line Reducing Concentrate twice daily. Even if you don't need it for line reducing the benefits of the vitamin C are AMAZING and I LOVE it! : )

I know it says to repeat the treatment for 30 seconds to 2 minutes does that mean i reapply the nickle size amount 3 or 4 times?...or do i just massage that one dose of nickle size amount for 2 minutes?

Best Answer:I don't think you need to reapply. Just apply and rub/massage. This stuff is expensive, but I have found the texture to be the best available in facial exfoliants. And I use it all over my throat and chest and arms occasionally ... even my hands. I go through about two tubes a year, and give this as gifts to special family & friends.

I use one nickel-size amount and massage that into in my face in a circular motion for 1 to 2 minutes. The product will keep its rough, exfoliating texture for that length of time. Rinse it off and enjoy your fresh skin!

Best Answer:I have sensitive skin, and I LOVE this scrub. My skin gets dry in certain spots, red and patchy and this is the best I have ever used. I use it twice a week and have really noticed an improvement in the tone of my skin. GET IT!

Need skin program for sun damage large pores and deep wrinkles to mouth eyes and forehead?

A shopper on Jan 22, 2013

Best Answer:I've used the epidermal re-texturizing micro-dermabrasion product as an adjunct to prescription treatment with tretinoin (Retin A) products. If, as you describe, you have sun damage large pores and deep wrinkles a tretinoin product would help by deeply exfoliating and thereby smoothing your skin. I use the Kiels micro-dermabrasion to help lift the exfoliating dead skin in between the tretinoin treatments. Again, depending on how damaged your skin is, over the counter products like Kiels may not deliver the results you are looking for. Check out the obagi website as well. That is a dermatologist line. Hope my response helps.

Best Answer:My skin is dry, too. I use this product about twice a month. The directions suggest 30 second to no more than two minutes. I go about one minute, but use a very light touch. After, I always use a hydrating facial masque (not made by Kiehl's -- they USED to see one but it was discontinued.) I rinse off the masque after 20 minutes and my face is radiant!

Best Answer:This is a very fine-textured exfoliant. I try to use it once a week. It removes dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, so your skin looks fresher and can absorb moisturizers more efficiently. I love this product, and so does my 28-year-old daughter. I use 1 to 2 tubes a year.

Is this gentle enough for extremely sensitive skin? I have rosacea that is under control but I don't want to aggravate it. I just want to be able to use some kind of exfoliant and I use/love other Kiehls products.

A shopper on Aug 22, 2012

Best Answer:My aesthetician says I have rosacea, but my physician says I have telangectasia. In any case it's very mild ... just redness and some tiny vessels are visible, but no eruptions or raised areas. I use this product about once a week and haven't had any negative effects. It's a little expensive, but an investment I'm willing to make. If you find it aggravates your facial skin in any way, you may still value it very much for exfoliating neck, shoulders & decolletage. I even use it on my hands sometimes. Also nice for a gentle exfoliation of the lips, especially in winter or in dry climates.

I just got the this product's sample. Can you advise I should use it in the morning or at night? After this, can I use 'Blemish Control Daily Skin-Clearing Treatment'? How long is the interval shall I take?

Best Answer:Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions are powerful, yet safe treatments that address skin conditions such as premature aging, irritation and sensitivity. Use 2-3 times a week for remarkably smooth skin day or night -- your choice!
